STATE NORMAL SCHOOL^
HISTORICAL SKETCH.
This Institution had its inception in the discussion of the Teachers' Institutes,
which met at Indiana in the years 1869 and 1871. Once resolved upon, the idea of
a Normal School at Indiana grew rapidly into a reality. Subscription books were
opened, and such success attended the efforts of its friends, that ere long the best site
in the whole vicinity, overlooking the town, was purchased, plans were adopted,
estimates were made, contracts were consummated, and building was begim.
May 17th, 1875, the building \vas formally opened to the public as a State
Normal School. During the nine years in which it has been in operation, 2,718
different students have been members of the Normal Department.
This catalogue exhibits the attendance during the ninth full school year.
The school is now on a good financial basis. The constant efforts of the Board
of Trustees and of the Faculty of the Institution to increase the facilities for study,
instruction and healthful exercise, cannot fail to make the advantages such, in every
respect, as to give eminent satisfaction to all who may become its patron^.
LOCATION.
Indiana, a beautiful, thriving town of 3,000 inhabitants, is the county seat of
Indiana County, and the terminus of the Indiana Branch of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. It is situated nineteen miles north of Blairsville Intersection, and seventy-two
miles, by railroad, north-east of Pittsburgh. The thorough sympathy of all its citizens
with this Institution has been evinced by the contribution of ^60,000 for its establish-
ment and by a further contribution of ^3,000 towards providing for it the most com-
plete apparatus for Chemistry and Physics possessed by any Normal School in the
United States.
The high moral character and the culture of the inhabitants of the town, and their
interest in educational affairs, are all favorable to the highest success of a State Nor-
mal School.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.
The Building consists of three principal buildings connected by two others, the
five having a total length of 564 feet, and the whole blending into one beautiful struc-
ture four stories high above the basement. The basement story is nine feet in height,
and the other four stories range from eleven-and-a-half to fourteen feet between floor
and ceiling.
The building is warmed throughout by steam, thus securing the minimum of
danger and work, and the maximum of time for exercise and study. The labor of
carrying coal or ashes, of lighting 200 fires, and the necessaiy dirt and dust consequent
thereon, and the multiple danger of fire, are thus wholly avoided. But even in case
of possible fire from unforseen causes, by means of large pipes on every floor, which
are kept in constant readiness, the building can be instantaneously flooded with water
Every part is lighted by gas and well ventilated ; every floor is provided with hot
and cold water, bath rooms, lavatories, and water closets. The students' rooms are
completely furnished, and the ladies' rooms are carpeted.
INDIANA, PA. 23
The chapel, with seating capacity for i,ooo persons; the dining hall, with the
accompanying apartments ; the model school rooms ; the library room ; the reading
room ; the Principal's rooms ; the reception room ; the parlor ; the lecture and recita-
tion rooms ; the corridors ; the apartments for the chemical laboratory ; the private
rooms for 400 students— all are usually well adapted to their respective uses.
The Grounds consist of a beautiful campus of twelve acres, including a magnili-
cent grove of large timber, shady promenades, croquet grounds, and a base-ball field
The buildings, grounds, furniture and apparatus are valued at ^200 000.
24 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL,
Professional Training for
Teachers.
That teachers need special preparation for their work is a fact almost axiomatic-
Genuine teaching is an art, and like all other arts, it is based upon fixed principles.
A critical knowledge of the branches to be taught is an essential, but is only one
of the essentials which underlie the teacher's work.
Instruction is one branch of a teacher's work and a very valuable branch indeed,
but the true teacher is far more than an instructor. To make the mmd is far more
important than to furnish it. The mind of the child is, as it were, a bundle of germs,
not a vacant storehouse, and it is the teacher's work to surround the child with such
influences as shall lead to a systematical development of these germs into a strong and
active mind. Nor is this all, man is partly spiritual and partly material, and these two
elements of his nature are so wedded that neither one can come to its best, without a
like condition of the other. Here then is the problem of the teacher; to take the
child and make the man.
Let it be remembered that the child is to be transformed into the man by the
development of each and all his powers of body and mind, and that a power grows
strong through its own legitimate activity and in no other way.
To so stimulate and guide and to surround the child with such influences, that
his growth shall be continuous and healthful, demands a thorough knowledge of the
being to be educated, of the agencies to be used in his education, 'of the best methods
of applying educational instrumentalities, and skill in this application.
In other words, to be able to do successful work as a teacher, demands profes-
sional preparation.
To meet this demand is the object of a Normal School. No other school can do
the work^ because no other school is prepared to do it.
"The Normal School is an outgrowth of popular education, and not only is it the
best possible agency to meet the growing demand iox trained teachers, but it is the only
agency that can be depended on. " — Baldwin.
''The law of human experience warrants the expectation of success only on prepar-
ation, and the fundamental principle of the Normal School is simply an application of
this theory to the work of teaching.
Thus far, the facts indicate that the more thoroughly the Normal Schools are
studied and understood the deeper becomes the conviction of their necessity.^' —
Hon. John Eaton.
All really good teaching is the result of preparation.
There are no mistakes more serious than those made by the inferior teacher.
The artist's chisel may ruin the block of marble, but "'tis only marble.
INDIANA, PA. 25
The teacher's mistake leaves its result on immortal mind.
We can afford to experiment in some directions, but who shall estimate the cost
of experiment and failure in this ?
A Question for Enterprising IVachers. — Which will pay you best : To plod
along as best you can, content with a poor position, and conscious that others are sur-
passing you, and that the best positions will never be within your grasp, or to make
thorough preparation for your work, and thus to transform it into a far more pleasant
one, lift yourself to a higher position, and by this means not only secure a far better
salar}', but contribute your part toward making teaching a profession.
Never before was there such a demand for trained teachers, and this demand is
rapidly and constantly increasing.
Our supply is far less than the demand.
We invite the attention of earnest and intelligent young men and women to these
facts and suggest the wisdom of a professional course at a genuine Normal School.
Secure a Normal Diploma and thus rid yourself of the annoyance of further
examination.

Courses of Study
Arranged for this Institution.
Students who have a thorough kno\\ ledge of the branches taught in common
schools, can complete the Elementary Course in two years. But for those students
who enter the school without this thorough knowledge, three years are required.
For the accommodation of students desiring to pursue special courses of study,
this Institution has established a Classical Course^ a Cotnmercial-College Course, and
a Course in Voral and Insti^ii mental Music.
ELEMENTARY COURSE-Three Years.
Junior Studies^ — Two years ; Senior Studies, — One year.
For convenience, the course of study is separated into parts designated respec-
tively ; Senior, A. B. C. D. E. and F. Divisions.
A synopsis of the work in each is herewith given.
Branches marked with a star may be passed in a lower division, but they must
he co?npleted hQiore. the student can be promoted to a higher division.
Theory of Eloctition must be passed before entering the Senior class.
Vocal Music may be passed in any part of the course.

CLASSICAL COURSE— Three Years.
This embraces the Latin and Oreek languages,— German and French optional,—
and the advanced English, Mathematical and Scientific studies of the Normal Courses.
As much work in English Composition will be required as in the Elementary Course.
In one to three years students in this Course may make thorough preparation for
College, or for teachers in Classical Schools or Academies.
FIRST YEAR.
Term I. — First half Jones's Latin Lessons and Grammar— Harkness's or
Greenough's Grammar.
Term II. — Second half Jones's Lessons and Grammar.
Term III.— Ca-sar, Book I.
The course for this year is equally adapted to the wants of those taking the
Normal Course, and those preparing for College, and contains the entire amount of
Latin required of the former.
SECOND YEAR.
Term I. — Latin — Ccesar completed; Latin Prose. Greek— \<I\\a€% Lessons
(40J — Goodwin's Grammar.
Term II. — Latin — Cicero, three orations; Latin Prose. Greek — White's Les-
sons, last half — Goodwin's Grammar.
Term III. — Latin — Cicero, three orations ; Latin Prose. Greek — Anabasis
Book I.
THIRD YEAR.
Term I — Latin — Sallust's Catiline; Latin Prose. Greek — Anabasis, Book II.
Term II. — Latin — Virgil begun ; Prosody ; History. Greek — Anabasis, Book
III, and Iliad, Book 1.
Term III — Latin — Virgil finished ; Prosody; History. Greek — Homer's Iliad,
Book II, and Greek Prose Composition, History through the year.
In this connection, permit us to emphasize one point, viz.: while the student will
find here the best of advantages for pursuing the study of Latin and Greek, he also has
opportunity to study mathematics, science, the higher English branches, etc., at the
same time, and with specialists in each of these lines of work.
A commencing class in both Latin and Greek will be formed at the opening of
each school year ; also, one in Latin at the beginning of each spring and summer term.
COMMERCIAL COURSE.
This course provides excellent facilities for those desiring to prepare for business.
The course includes :
Business Arithmetic; Theory of Penmanship; Practical Penmanship; Single
Entry Book-keeping ; Double Entry Book-keeping ; Transformations from Single to
Double Entry ; Business Forms ; Commercial Correspondence, etc., etc.
38 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL^
It is a matter of no small moment to the student preparing for business, that
while he is pursuing such studies as belong to this department he has an excellent
opportunity for pursuing any other studies which he may find necessary.
Important changes have been introduced into this department within the
year, making it eminently practical in its character.
COURSE IN MUSIC.
Here ample facilities are presented for pursuing the study of either instrumental
or vocal music. The department follows the methods sanctioned by experience and
the best musical authorities.
A thorough knowledge of the Piano is taught through the studies by Czerny,
Kohler, Heller, Chopin and others ; and style and expression are studied from the
works of the best musical composers. Instruction upon the organ is equally thorough
and systematic.
The excellence of the methods used in voice culture is attested by the steady
growth of this department.
Our instruments are all exammed at regular intervals by an expert from the city
of Pittsburgh, and are thus kept in perfect tune. Any teacher of music will readily
appreciate the value of this fact.

INDIANA, PA. 41
Examination for Graduation
No one can be graduated from a Pennsylvania Normal School, who has not
attended the school at least one-half of a school year.
Candidates for graduation are examined by the Faculty, and, if found qualified
are recommended to the Board of Examiners.
The State Superintendent (who is the President of the Board j, two Principals of
Normal Schools, and two County, City or Borough Superintendents, constitute the
Board of Examiners.
At the examination for graduation, a paper stating that the candidates have com-
pleted the course of study for Normal Schools, have taught the required time in the
Model School, and have been examined and approved by the Faculty, shall be pre.
sented by the Principal to the Board of Examiners.
The Board of Examiners test the knowledge of the candidates upon all the
branches of study in the course in which they are examined ; special attention being
given to the Science and Art of Teaching.
A Thesis of not less than six folio pages of manuscript, upon some educational
subject, is required from each candidate, as a part of the examination.
DIPLOMAS.
A student graduating in the Elementary Course receives a diploma, in which is
named the branches studied, and by which the holder is constituted.
BACHELOR OF THE ELEMENTS.
The diploma of a student graduating in the Scientific Course enumerates the
distinctive branches of the Course, and constitutes its holder.
BACHELOR OF THE SCIENCES.
Regular graduates who have continued their studies for two years after graduat-
ing, and who have practiced their profession for two full annual terms''' in the common
schools of the State, on presenting to the Faculty and the Board of Examiners a certi-
ficate of good moral character, and skill in the Art of Teachmg — from the Board or
Boards of Directors in whose employ they have taught, and countersigned by the
County Superintendent— may receive second diplomas, constituting them Masters in
the several studies embraced in the course in which they graduated, and conferring
upon them the coiTCsponding professional degrees, —
MASTER OF THE ELEMENTS; MASTER OF THE SCIENCES.
Candidates for a diploma in either course must be examined in all the studies of
that course.
♦An annual term must be at least pxt months.
42 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL,
Examination of Practical
Teachers.
The Normal School law makes it the duty of the State Board of Examiners to
grant Diplomas or State Certificates to actual teachers of common schools, without
their having attended the Normal Schools as students, — upon the following conditions:
1. The applicant must be twenty-one years of age, of good moral character, and
must have taught successfully in common schools of this State during three consecu-
tive annual terms immediately preceding the examination. The proof of good
moral character and of satisfactory teaching for the requisite time, must be a certificate
from the proper Board or Boards of Directors, signed by the President and Secretary',
and countersigned by the proper County Superintendent or Superintendents.
2. The examination may be in either the Elementary or the Scientific Course,
as the applicant may select, according to the list of studies as printed in the circulars
of the State Normal Schools, and approved by the State Superintendent, or in such
other studies as may, by the Board of Examiners, be deemed equivalent.
3. Each applicant is required to prepare and present to the State Board of
Examiners an original thesis of not less than six folio pages of manuscript, on some
professional subject, which thesis is to be retained at the school where the examination
takes place.
4. The examination and certificate are without expense to the applicant ; and
the certificate is full evidence of qualification to teach the branches therein named, in
any part of the State, without further examination.
5. Practical teachers, attending examinations at the State Normal Schools for the
purpose of procuring State Certificates, are examined separately from the regular
students; and both the State Board of Examiners and the Faculty of the school at
which the examination is held^ take part in the examination, all being required to sign
the certificate.

the churches in the town.
44 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL,
If you Contemplate Attending- tlie Normal Scliool
at Indiana, we Ask your Careful Attention
to tlie Following Paragraplis:
COME EARLY.
Success demands that you shall be here early. Tardiness in the commencement
of a term, or irregularity of attendance after the commencement has been made, are
very serious hindrances to success. Be here and ready for work on the very first day,
and the very first hour of the term.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME FOR THOROUGH WORK.
It often happens that an ambitious young man or woman, limited in means, and
desirous of commencing life's active labors as soon as possible, determines to try to do
two years' work in one, or that of three in two.
Such a course is scarcely ever advisable. One essential element in the teacher's
preparation is time. Solid attainment is never a mushroom growth. Two years'
work demands two years in which to do it well; and unless work is well done, the
result will prove a source of regret through many years of mistakes which might have
been avoided, had more thorough preparation been made. If you need more than a
year for your work, and have only the means at command for one year's expenses
at school, come for the year, and then, by remaining out of school for a time, make
it possible to return and complete your course. It is not an absolute necessity that
you graduate at a certain fixed time ; it is an absolute essential to your true success
that you make thorough preparation.
A HIGH STANDARD.
The State Normal School at Indiana proposes to maintain a high standard of
excellence, both as to scholarship and as to attainments in model school work.
Our inquiry is and will remain, not how many can we graduate, but how many
and who are thoroughly prepared for graduation ?
For the sake of those who shall employ our teachers, and for the sake of the
teachers themselves, we desire to make our diplomas valuable and to preserve to
them their value.
Students can readily appreciate the increased value which will thus come to
them, and we trust that they will also appreciate the fact that they must themselves
contribute to so desirable an end.
BOOKS OF REFERENCE.
"While the student will find may books of reference here, still it is advisable for
him to bnng such as he may have, that he may make personal and daily use of them.
The habit of such use is of incalculable importance, and school life should ever
minister to the formation of such habits as will lead to a successful life. Bring your
books with you ; place them where you can conveniently use them ; and by their use
form a habit, the value of which you can never overestimate.
INDIANA, PA. 45
MAKE FEW IF ANY VISITS AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL.
Success demands concentration of thought. Tliis is prevented by frequent visits
at home or elsewhere, and usually time thus spent subtracts materially from tiie pro-
gress of the student.
BOXES OF CAKE AND OTHER FANCY EATABLES.
These can only work injury, and students are earnestly advised to make no
arrangement for having them sent.
Successful brain work demands a vigorous and healthy digestion. Such a
digestion demands plain food, eaten at proper times, and at no other time. Im-
proper food, or food eaten at improper times, is the source of a very large proportion
of all the headaches, and of those slight ailments which subtract so seriously from
the success of many students.
Here we would sound a note of alarm, not only in the ears of students, but in
those of parents as well, and we entreat you, as you value the health and true success
of those that you entrust to our care, that you discountenance what is so fraught with
evil.
GOVERNMENT.
No association of individuals can exist anrl prosecute its work successfully with-
out such regulations as clearly set forth the duties of the various individuals composmg
this association. These duties grow out of the various relations which the members
of the association sustain to each other, and to the work in which they are engaged.
The regulations should aim at the protection of the rights of all, and should never
lose sight of the fact that the rights of a community must ever be paramount to those
of the individual. The regulations should aim at giving the most complete liberty,
not inconsistent with the highest good of all, and should forbid whatever is incon-
sistent therewith.
Self-government is here regarded as the true type of government ; and,
indeed, as the only kind of government capable of fostering and developing such
character as must be possessed by every successful teacher. For this reason, the
constant aim of this school will be to cultivate such a healthy sentiment as will render
discipline unnecessary.
Government from within renders the student strong, self-reliant, and fits him for
the coming duties of life ; while that which treats him as a passive subject, ruled from
without, turns him out into the world unfit for its stern realities.
Activity is the law of development. A power which is dormant soon ceases to be.
We assume that our students desire to make thorough preparation in all that
pertains to successful teaching, and no other element is more important than that of
self-government. He who has not learned this art is utterly unfit for the government
of others; and he who has not learned the lesson of obedience can never impart it to
others.
In our regulations, these points have ever been kept in view, and it is earnestly
desired that each student shall thoroughly acfiuaint himself therewith, and cheerfully
consent to an entire and prompt obedience.
46 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL^
It is assumed in the outset that all who come to the Institution, come with good
and honest intent ; and all are treated as worthy of confidence, affection, and respect,
until they prove themselves otherwise. It is confidently expected that necessity will
seldom arise for resort to extreme measures.
Regulations.
SCHOOL WORK PARAMOUNT.
The legitimate work of the school-room is to be considered of paramount
importance, and superior to all other demands that may be made upon the time and
attention of the student. This^ for the tij?ie being, is the occupation^ and all arrange-
ments are to be made accordingly^ and carried out in the spirit of this regulation.
ASSOCIATION OF THE SEXES.
This Institution is intended to be, in all respects, a well-regulated home for all
who attend it ; a home in which they may become familiar with the usages of the best
society. But while there are very good advantages vhat arise from the proper co-edu-
cation of the sexes, special precautions are necessary to guard against all possible evil
or scandal.
In the intercourse of the sexes, the utmost decorum is required, without, however,
oppressive interference, or the hindrance of that mutual influence which is deemed so
beneficial in the co-education of the sexes. Hence, while a due degree of intercourse
is allowed in the dady recitations and amusements, the bounds of strict propriety are
never trangressed. The dormitories are as completely separated and guarded as though
they were two distinct buildings.
The following regulations relating to the association of the sexes will commend
themselves to all as necessary and wise :
/. Students shall not correspond, walk, or ride with those of the opposite sex :
or meet them in the reception room, parlor, or elsewhere, except by special permission
from the Principal and the Preceptress.
2. Ladies and gentlemen are expressly prohibited from entering the halls appro^
priated to each other'' s respective departments, withotit permission.
J. They are, on no condition, allowed to visit each other'' s private rooms, except
in case of severe sickness, and then only in company with the Principal or Preceptress.
These regulations are deemed vital to the very existence of the Institution.
For further rules for regulating the conduct of students, see ** Regulations for
Students," a copy of which is furnished to each member of the Institution.
INDIANA, PA. 47
Record of Deportment.
Since no element of adaptation to the -work of teaching is more important than
that of cheerful self-regulation of conduct, it is evident that any record kept for tlie
purpose of showing the fitness of the student for this work, that did not take into
account deportment, would be seriously deficient, and a manifest injustice. The
student who cheerfully aids in promoting good order, and whose conduct is irreproach-
able is just as truly entitled to credit tJierefor as is he tvho excels in scholarship.
In accordance with this view, deportment is placed upon the same footing, as
nearly as possible, as a branch of study, and a corresponding entry is made in the
student's record for each term. The attention of those in quest of Jirst-class teachers
is invited to this feature of our record.
At the close of each term, a record of deportment and attainments in each branch
will be filled out for each student, and sent to the parents or guardians.
TERMS OF ADMISSION.
Candidates for admission to any department of the Institution must be of good
moral character; and those coming from other institutions will be expected to bring
certificates of honorable dismission.
No person under fourteen years of age is received into the Normal Department,
except by special permission from the Principal. Each student on entering the
School is required to sign a pledge to observe faithfully all the rules and regulations
of the Institution.
Students are admitted at any time during the term, if prepared to enter the classes
already formed ; but it is generally to the advantage of the students that they be present
promptly at the opening of the term. Those in the regular course of study are
expected to be present, in all cases, at the first recitation of their respective classes,
unless leave of absence has been previously obtained.
48 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL,
Our Model School,
A Normal School is a school especially designed for the preparation of teachers.
It differs from an academy or a school of preparation for college, in that everything is
bent in the direction of fitting the student for the work of teaching. He is taught, that
he may teach others, and he should not only become skilled in the theory, but so far
as practicable, he should become a trained artist. For this reason a department of
practice is an essential feature of every thorough-going Normal School,
Our Model School is in charge of most excellent practical teachers. The school
corresponds in all particulars to one of the best gi-aded city schools. In its course of
study and plans of instruction, it is, as its name suggests, a model school.
Here the pupil-teachers, under the eye of the critic teachers, and after thorough
instruction in the theory of teaching, proceed to put their theory into practice, and to
test the solidity of their attainments. Here, through proper guidance, and friendly
yet unsparing criticism, an experience is gained of immeasurable value, both to the
pupil-teacher and his future patrons.
The pupils of this school are six to sixteen years of age. A limited number can
be received from abroad.
The instruction is mainly done by the members of the Senior Class of the Normal
School, under the general supervision of the Principal, a competent and experienced
Superintendent, and her assistant.
The course of instruction comprises the usual branches taught in common schools,
together with the elements of Natural Philosophy, Physiology, Chemistry, Botany, and
Natural History.
